The significant rise in the adoption of mobile devices and applications based on travel booking in the recent years and surging prevalence for various travel management solutions that help travelers in proper online vacation planning coupled with the growing focus on travel companies on offering new programs with heavy discounts to attract more travelers, are the leading factors driving the global market. In addition, heavy investments in tourism sector particularly in developing economies like India, Thailand, Singapore, and Malaysia and implementation on numerous development activities backed by large government authorities, are also likely to offer huge expansion opportunities for the alternative accommodation market.
- For instance, in September 2022, Guesty, completed the acquisition of the YieldPlanet. This acquisition will expand the company’s offering & capabilities for the traditional hotels along with the company’s technology integrated with the platform.
Moreover, increasing innovations in technologies to enhance the guest experience and streamline operations that mainly include integrating smart home features, developing mobile apps for seamless bookings and communication, or utilizing virtual reality to showcase properties, that allow companies to attract new technologically aware customers and gain a competitive edge and be ahead of their competitors.

However, growing geopolitical issues between many countries, constantly changing consumer expectations about the accommodation, and rising number of fraud attacks with the significant evolution of different fraudulent techniques, are the major factors likely to restrain the demand and growth of the market over the coming years.
The outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic has significantly impacted the growth of the alternative accommodation market. The rapid surge in fear of virus across the globe led to widespread cancellation and decrease in travel demand, as many countries have imposed lockdown measures and have closed their country borders as well for both trade and tourism purpose. However, as remote work became more prevalent during the pandemic, some individuals and families sought out alternative accommodations for longer stays or to combine work with leisure, that positively impacted the market.

By Accommodation Type Analysis
Home segment accounted for the largest market share in 2022
The home segment accounted for global market share in 2022, and is likely to retain its market position throughout the forecast period. The growth of the segment market is mainly accelerated by rising popularity and prevalence for homestays among both domestic and international travelers due to several factors including better privacy, ease of comfort, and safety. In addition, because of the low cost and friendly environment of homes, large number of travelers across the world are getting inclined towards the home-based vacation rentals, thereby positively influencing the segment market at rapid pace.
The apartments/condominium segment is projected to exhibit fastest growth over the next coming years, mainly driven by rising penetration for these accommodation types among millennials and business travelers due to its range of luxury amenities including sports clubs, swimming pools, and clubhouses among others. Beside this, staying in apartments or condominiums also allows travelers to immerse themselves in the local culture and experience life as a resident rather than a tourist, which in turn, has been propelling the market growth exponentially.
By Booking Mode Analysis
Online alternative accommodation booking segment held the significant market share in 2022
The online alternative accommodation booking segment held the maximum market share in 2022 and is also likely to gain highest growth rate over the study period, on account of rapid expanding usage and development of mobile applications and rapidly increasing internet penetration across the globe, that have significantly shaped the whole hotel and accommodation booking process through making it quite simpler and quicker.
- For instance, according to our findings, the number of people estimated to make online booking is around 700 million by 2023 and around 83% of US adults looking to book their trips online. And, 82% of all travel bookings in 2018 which was around 148 million bookings, occurred without any human interaction.
The rapid advancement of technology particularly in online booking platforms and mobile apps, that has made it easier for travelers to search, compare, and book alternative accommodations and focus on user-friendly interfaces, secure payment systems, and instant booking features enhancing the overall booking experience, are also likely to be key factors fostering the demand and growth of the segment market.
The offline alternative accommodation booking segment accounted for considerable market share, that is highly attributable to its ability to provide more personalized experience, as travelers can directly discuss their preferences and requirements with the property owners or travel agents and opt for best accommodation meeting their specific needs and requirements.
